Ingredients

Mango Puree

2 oz of Mango Puree is the tropical soul of the drink, lending lushness and body. Less and you're in the kiddie pool; more and you're in a mango-only monsoon. It's all about that balance.

Grenadine

0.5 oz of Grenadine isn't there just for its pretty red shoes; it adds a sweet-tart dance to the bottom of the glass. Skip this, and you're losing the sunrise effect – it’s the bling in your cocktail ring.

Crushed Ice

A cup of Crushed Ice chills everything down and brings the slushy escapade to life. Too little, and you're lukewarm; too much, and you're snowed in. Trust in the cup!

Garnish

Finally, the Maraschino Cherry on top is the edible wink that says, ’Here’s looking at you, kid’. No cherry means no cheeky ending to your sipping story.
